Hello everyone, I was happy to get on the first batch of rabbit R1. Look forward to the future endeavors with R1. Iām electrical associate at Home Depot so the orange matches my apronš¤£. I think Iāll be using the translator a lot. Itās going to be quite useful. Also taking a snapshot of an item that someone shows me will also be useful, the rabbit can give me an idea of what theyāre showing me.

Hey everyone! My name is Argo, aka Nathaniel.
When this device got announced I picked it up with one āsimpleā project in mind. I want to make a location based game with the ability to harvest items with real world photography.
Once players have āitemizedā real world resources, they can use them in a set of craft/exploration gameplay loops. Each players experience and narrative are their own, existing under the same sun.
Iād need hours to do a proper write up but this is as good as its getting for an introduction. Iām happy to build along side you all

Hello everybody. Iām Peter, aka PEZ. I like to hack on things and to hack existing things. Iām in love with Clojure and make tools for Clojure devs.
I just got my r1 and I trying to find fun use cases. r1 says it canāt help with coding questions when I photo my screen. I would love to be able to take a few photos and then go for a walk and have a conversation about the code. =) I like the Spotify player. As the original PO for Spotify Connect I am lacking support for that, hoping it will be added soon!
Is there a Rabbit API for me to tinker with? Iām interested in API:s both for the device and for the Rabbit Hole.

Hello everyone, I am Scissus, real name David. I am living in Germany, running a consulting company for information security and privacy management. I love new toys. As an information security professional I have to look at AI from a risk management perspective, as a business owner I have to look at it from a business and productivity perspective. very exciting. The R1 is currently for me only a toy and I am happy to be a alpha tester. Didnāt expect anything else, so I am happy with it.

Hi all, Iām Philipa, mom of 3, in Ireland, in a fully neurodivergent household, qualified in AI comp sci early 2000s and pivoted into law for various reasons. I now work as a specialist GRC advisor. I bought the rabbit for my oldest who is dyslexic as she is starting secondary this year, so Iāll be building her tutors and coaches to get her through the minefield of her teen years. Iām also evaluating it for use cases in the corporate context for several directors with which I work.

Hi everyone, Caglar here from Berlin 
Iām a PM and building some side projects in the AI and gaming domains.
I got my R1 as of last Friday. Itās especially helpful (1) when outside and doing a visual search and (2) when Iām reading and donāt want any distractions such as notifications and want to look for something thatās mentioned in the book.
Although Iām not extremely satisfied with the LLM and speech-to-textās current level, I believe itāll get better - and I really want it to get better as the hardware is extremely slick, and the vision is solid.
I believe that rabbits shouldnāt focus on doing everything on their own as itās impossible to do everything perfectly at the same time. For me, LAM is the biggest differentiator, but without the LAM, even having a properly working LLM would make it an extremely valuable product.

Forums huh? OK, been a while. Need to de-Discord my brain.
Iām James, pre-ordered the r1 after stumbling into a video of it online at CES. It was so cheap, it seemed like a no brainer.
As I write this today the r1 is on itās way here, and just arrived in the other side of the country. Might even be here before the weekend. Fun!
I the daytime I direct video games with a team of much smarter and more talented people than I.

Hi, Iām Mike from the UK. I was a broadcast TV director for around 30 years till I retired a few years ago. I produced stuff for the BBC, Granada, C4, Discovery in the US and many more. I started at The Moving Picture Company in London making 35mm commercials as a runner and gradually worked my way up the greasy pole from an assistant film editor to editor to director. I loved every day i āworkedā and would have happily paid to do my job. I probably saw the best days ever for TV in the 70s and 80s. Sadly most broadcasters have now gone down the shitter by pandering to the dumb requirements of the great unwashed. TV, and in particular documentaries, are a shadow of what they could be. I saw the light and finally left TV. I miss those days very much but such is life and things change.
Iāve always pushed the boundaries and had hoped the R1 would do that too but sadly I hardly ever use it now as GPT 4o Voice on my phone is just so capable and can store long term lists that the R1 cannot compete. Hopefully one day the āteach modeā will work but Iām afraid by then phones will already be doing the job. Itās up to the Rabbit team but hopefully theyāre up to itā¦
Have funā¦

Hey yāall, Iām Jeff but online I go by megatomic. I live in Florida, USA and Iām an elder geek both at work and in my free time. I have a passion for gadgets which resulted in me ordering my r1 in batch 1.
The r1 was my first real foray into the world of LLMs and AI (LAMs now too) and Iām in it with Rabbit for the long haul - good or bad.

Iām Jeremy, CS Engineering nerd whoās been building, architecting, and leading teams of incredible humans to build some of the most recognizable websites and apps on the planet since the last century.
Iām shocked I was invited to join this crowd. I have a batch 1 device. Since putting that order in during CES, Iāve consistently asked pointed questions about there āhowā of the feasibility of the LAM. Thrown by the original words during the launch āany application, any operating systemā - because that just didnāt seem right. Iāve yet to get a cohesive answer from anybody about how this can actually work - and if it could actually work, the Rabbit itself would pale in comparison to the tech to make the LAM happen. It would fundamentally be the most incredible technology ever created - and also the scariest.
Iāve been sent white papers, articles, interviews, etc - and not once seen an actual addressing of the core concerns that in my eyes prevent the dream of the LAM and the Rabbit of becoming a reality.
And now I have it in hand. It canāt do anything. Not only are the initial integrations almost unusable (hey, too bad you used social login when you signed up for DoorDash), but the actual core natural language processing and responses is far worse than before GPT 3 even. It canāt even remember my name, it canāt remember itās own name (ask it that question, thatās a fun one), it canāt integrate with anything it needs to, it wonāt shift itās responses to match what you are looking for out of an interaction - my point being that even as a device that should be able to be used for conversational AI it is unusable.
Hold that orange button and ask it something. Then do that on your GPT app on your phone. My oldest son who is brilliantly on the spectrum said it best when i gave it to him to play with, sensing maybe he could find some brilliance out off it - after 15 minutes of using it he brought it back to me and said āI donāt even know why this exists.ā

If you find some fun use cases that actually work, I would love to hear about them! Iām so hopeful, but knowing how this thing would actually have to interact with the digital world continues to make me believe itās a lovely orange pipe-dream. Yet, I hope. Boy do I hope. Also, battery life is terribleā¦

Donāt hold out much hope for teaching mode. The interface shot through the webpage via an iframe to a vnc session is almost unusable. Between screen ratios being off, the login servers not digging the IP coming from the VNC host, captcha seemingly not remembering that you just completed it, and any kind of two-factor auth - even supported integrations seem to be a train wreck.
Imagine that at scale - just for websites. How often do you have to two-factor auth a site you go to all the time? Now multiply that by the likelihood that the integration that will run through VNC will need credentials often (which you canāt do on device), and recognize that even to keep it working reasonably well all of those VNC connections have to stay active. All the time. So you now have N number of open virtual machines, whoās sole purpose is to wait around for it to get a request forwarded to it. How does that scale? If thatās not how it works and a new VNC spins up every time you want it to go do a LAM task, that means you have to re-authenticate every time.
I know i sound like a jerk. Iām batch 1. Iām in - I just donāt see how this works. I HOPE TO THE UNIVERSE that Iām missing something huge - but have yet to have anyone from the community on Discord including the Rabbit folks give me any indication that this is understood and handled. I cannot wait to be proven wrong, the potential is endless. But knowing how the entire functional internet works, I just donāt see how it ever will.
If I really want to be spun up, iāll start thinking about how to do this LAM model with iOS and Android apps. Thatās even a bigger blackhole of inaccessibilityā¦
Please, someone, tell me what Iām missing!
